How does the <form> tag work in HTML?

The

tag is used to create forms on web pages, allowing users to submit input that is then processed by a server. The form contains various input elements like ,

, <select>, and <button> that enable users to interact and provide data.Example:<br />
<form action="submit.php" method="POST"><br />
  <label for="name">Name:</label><br />
  <input type="text" id="name" name="name"><br />
  <button type="submit">Submit</button><br />
</form><br />
<br />
    action: Specifies the URL or server-side script (such as submit.php) where the form data is sent for processing.<br />
    method: Defines how the data is transmitted, either using the GET or POST method<br />
